In the mathematical field of graph theory, the Szekeres snark is a snark with 50 vertices and 75 edges.[1] It was the fifth known snark, discovered by George Szekeres in 1973.[2]
As a snark, the Szekeres graph is a connected, bridgeless cubic graph with chromatic index equal to 4. The Szekeres snark is non-planar and non-hamiltonian but is hypohamiltonian.[3]
Another well known snark on 50 vertices is the Watkins snark discovered by John J. Watkins in 1989.[4]
